This type of copper coin is neither new nor extremely rare, 

 but the fact that it bears the joint names of Azes and Azilises 

 has not been previously recognized. Professor Rapson, who 

 has seen the specimen now described, agrees that the type 

 should be ascribed to Azes and Azilises jointly. The B. M. 

 Collection contains four examples of this type, two of which 

 has been attributed to Azes — PI. XIX, 11 — and two to Azilises 

 PI. XXI, 5. But there is no vestige of the name on the 

 obverse of PL XIX, 11, while on PI. XXI, 5, the name on the 

 Greek side is Azilises, while it is assumed that the correspond- 

 ing name on the reverse is Ayilishasa. But only the first two 

 characters are visible, and these are not Ayi, but Aya, i.e., the 

 first two syllables of Ayasa. 



Silver coins of Azes and Azilises jointly are known — see 

 B. M. Cat., PI. XX, 3, and PL XXXII, 9. See also Cunning- 

 ham's ' Coins of the Indo-Scythians, Sakas and Kushans.'

 holding arrow in both hands, and clad in chlamys and boots; 

 design in area surrounded by raised beading ; no legend.

legend extant but rubbed and illegible. 



This interesting coin was brought to me from Mathura. 

 An Apolline type of the issues of Gondopharres is a novelty. 

 With regard to the reverse design, compare coin B. M.Cat., PL 

 XXII, 12.
